God Names a Pagan King to Fulfill His Plan | Day 205 | Chronological Bible Podcast

Day 205 | Isaiah 44:6–48:11 God draws a sharp contrast between Himself—the eternal Creator—and the man-made idols worshiped by Israel and the surrounding nations. Through Isaiah, the Lord calls out the absurdity of idolatry, reminding His people that He alone made them, redeemed them, and will never forget them. He warns that trusting in anything besides Him leads to ruin, yet also offers mercy: "Return to Me, for I have redeemed you." God even names Cyrus, a pagan king, as His chosen instrument to fulfill His purposes—showing that His sovereignty extends over all nations. This powerful section ends with the promise that one day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess allegiance to the Lord.
